Whistling top

Abstract

A new and improved toy is disclosed. The toy would be analogous to a standard spinning top, but would also have a small whistle hole in the side of the upper section of the top. Once a user would start the top spinning, the whistle hole would cause the top to make a whistling sound.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . A whistling top comprising: 
 (a) an upper portion, the upper portion being spherically shaped, the upper portion being approximately one and one-half inches in diameter,    (b) a pole having two ends, a first end and a second end, the pole being approximately two and one-half to three inches in length, the first end of the pole being connected to the upper portion, the second end of the pole culminating in a point,    (c) a hole drilled into the upper portion, the hole located approximately ninety degrees away from the point where the first end of the pole connects to the upper portion, the hole having a depth between approximately one-half of a centimeter to one-half of an inch,    (d) a means for causing the whistling top to rapidly spin around in a circular fashion on the second end of the pole and emit a whistling sound.    
     
     
         2 . A whistling top according to  claim 1  wherein the means for causing the whistling top to rapidly spin around in a circular fashion on the second end of the pole and emit a whistling sound further comprise: 
 (a) a power bar having two ends, a first end and a second end,  
 (b) a length of string having two ends, a first end and a second end,  
 (c) a string handle attached to the second end of the string,  
 (d) a hole located in the first end of the power bar,  
 (e) whereby an individual would insert the first end of the string through the hole on the power bar, further whereby the individual would wind the string completely around the pole, and further whereby the individual would grasp the string handle and pull hard and fast while the pole would be standing upright, causing the whistling top to rapidly spin and emit a whistling sound for a short duration of time.
